A description of a reading lesson comparing and contrasting spiders with insects is given. The reasons why the ELL students struggled with the lesson are explored including their unfamiliarity with the informational text's compare-contrast structure, their lack of background knowledge about the spiders and insects being compared and contrasted, and the gaps in their English language vocabulary contributed to why they didn't understand what they were reading. Teaching methods to identify the compare-contrast text structure, how to use compare-contrast tests to activate and extend students' background knowledge, and how to use the texts to help students expand their vocabulary are discussed. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Reading Teacher is the property of Wiley-Blackwell and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
